ARC Ref 3 Power Cord


Hi, I was wondering if anyone has replace the stock power cord for the Arc Ref 3 with some other power cord and has found it to improve the preamps performance? I have replaced the power cords on most of my other components and I am thinking of doing the same with the Ref 3. If so, is there anything good out there without spending an arm and a leg on?

Give Leonard a call at ARC. He told me that the stock ARC power cords are really good and they also use the snake cords with their equipment in-house. There seemed to be some preferences in which of the none-stock oily cords they preferred with different ARC equipment. Oneobgyn, the SR power cords may be a good fit for your system, give them a try and let us know.
I am very interested as to how you know that ARC gear is voiced using Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha power cords. Can you elaborate please.

Stephen,

I toured ARC factory back in 2007 and have talked to ppl. Both of their systems - the one in the big room with Wilson Maxx speakers, and the one in a smaller room with System 8 speakers, are cabled throughout with Shunyata Anaconda Helix power cords. They also use Shunyata V-Ray.

I needed a longer cord than the stock cord and I purchased a Signal Cable Magic power cord.....sounded very good.
